Review: Believe by Erin McCarthy

Title: Believe

Author: Erin McCarthy

Genre: New Adult, Romance

Publication date: January 21st 2013

Synopsis:

Robin used to be a party girl… until she got black out drunk and woke up in bed with her best friend’s boyfriend. Now she’s faced with being THAT girl, and couldn’t be more disgusted with herself. She can’t even tell her friends the reason for her sudden sobriety and she avoids everyone until she meets Phoenix—quiet, tattooed, and different in every way that’s good and oh, so bad…

Phoenix is two days out of jail when he meets Robin at his cousin’s house, and he knows that he has no business talking to her, but he’s drawn to her quiet demeanor, sweet smile, and artistic talent. She doesn’t care that he’s done time, or that he only has five bucks to his name, and she supports his goal to be a tattoo artist.

But Phoenix knows Robin has a secret, and that it’s a naïve dream to believe that his record won’t catch up with them at some point. Though neither is prepared for the explosive result when the past collides with the present…

My Review:

4/5I received this book from NetGalley for review.

Erin McCarthy has done it again. In the third book of the
True Believers series the story continues with the cousin of Tyler and Riley.

Phoenix grew up in a similar way to his cousins. His mother
wasn't attentive or very caring. As a child he learned to deal with his own
demons. Now, he has just come out of prison and has to stay with his cousins.
Here he meets Robin. Quiet and closed off, Robin seems broken and being broken
himself, Phoenix can understand her and see that she is hiding some demons of
her own.

Robin made a huge mistake over the summer and now she has to
deal with the consequences of it. To prevent anything else from happening she
cuts herself from alcohol and partying. She avoids her friends but it becomes
difficult and she finally has to face the music. Then she meets Phoenix, bad
boy, artist and possibly the only other person around who feels the same as she
does.

Robin and Phoenix's story was so cute and heartbreaking at
the same time. Erin McCarthy has created a world where even in a world full of
darkness caused by a person's past, there is always light when there is someone
to share it with.

My only issue with this story was that it felt too short but
that is always a good complaint.
